Loving Presence Workshop – March 15-16, 2025
“Loving presence is a state of being. It is pleasant, good for one’s health and rewarding in and of itself. It is a state in which one is openhearted and well intentioned. In its purest form, it is spiritually nourishing and sensitive to subtle energies. It is also the best state to be in when offering someone emotional support.” ~ Ron Kurtz- Creator of the Hakomi Method
Loving Presence is a fundamental skill of the Hakomi method, also known as mindfulness-based assisted self-discovery. Hakomi uses experiments in mindfulness to help a person discover how present moment experience is organized from unconscious habits and beliefs. Starting with experiments in mindfulness, Hakomi moves towards nourishing, often missing, experiences that challenge these beliefs, thereby providing new possibilities to help eliminate unnecessary suffering.
Loving Presence creates a safe environment and it is the first step in creating a container where healing can happen. Loving Presence and Hakomi will be a gift in all your relationships and work environments.
In this workshop we will explore Loving Presence in an experiential and experimental way through various exercises in small groups and pairs.
This workshop is one of 5 in the Personhood series, or Level 1 Hakomi.
No prerequisites required to attend the workshop.
Roland Bérard, is a Hakomi trainer since 2009. He is passionate about healing and personal growth and transformation.

Location: Studio MOOV, 7190 Marconi, Montreal.
Cost: $300 if paid before Friday, February 7th, $325 if paid after this date.

The Hakomi Method
Hakomi principles and guidelines
Hakomi is a method of mindfulness-based assisted self-discovery created by Ron Kurtz.
The two fundamental skills cultivated in Hakomi are Mindfulness and Loving Presence. These two skills help the therapist to be present with him or herself and the client. This creates a safe container in which aspects of the client that are unknown to himself are invited to show up and guide the work.
In Hakomi we “lead by following”. Leading by following is tuning in to what is present in each moment by closely tracking the client’s immediate experience while observing indicators of material are also manifesting. These cues allow the therapist to intuit what might be helpful to do next and thus guide the session.
In Hakomi, two basic skills, four guidelines and five principles frame the work:
The two basic skills:
- Loving Presence
- Mindfulness
The four guidelines:
- Using short moments of mindfulness to help the client study himself.
- Staying with the present-moment experience.
- We maintain an experimental attitude.
- We move towards a nourishing experience.
The five founding principles:
- Mindfulness: a non-judgmental and curious observer of what is present in the moment.
- Organicity: the fact that healing is a spontaneous process that is organic in nature, and the fact that all the resources are within the client and will emerge when we create conditions where these resources will feel safe enough to reveal, cooperate, and actually lead the process.
- Unicity: in that we are all related and everything we do affects others around us.
- Non-violence: the focus is never forcing to break through blocks, fears, and resistance, but rather on supporting them so they can be seen or heard, acknowledged, understood and dissolved in a loving and safe container of self-discovery.
- Mind-body holism: the fact that whatever is in the body is related to whatever is happening in the mind and vice versa.

Hands of Light Workshop
Roland Bérard is passionate about healing and personal growth. Roland obtained a Diploma in Brennan Healing Science from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing in 2002 and graduated from the School’s Advanced Teaching Program in 2005. His Montreal practice incorporates Brennan Healing Science, Hakomi, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Reiki.
The Workshop
Brennan Science is an enlightning system of energy work that combines hands-on techniques with spiritual and psychological processes… touching every aspect of your life.
Brennan Science is based on the living dynamics of our human energy consciousness system and its relationship to one’s self, to others and to the greater world. This energy system reflects the health of one’s thoughts and emotions, which sets the template for the state of our lives – physically, mentally and emotionally.
By joining us, you will be introduced to your ability to give hands-on healing to others, as well as starting to open your latent ability to perceive the human energy field. This is a rare opportunity to step into an expanded view of life, where we see that we are more than just our physical bodies.
